A high wind last Friday brought up
a lot of rain in it's wake which has re-
moved the snow on the prairie. 1t is
still cold enough to snow in the higher
altitude of the mountains.
Five sacks of mail came through to
Willow creek Wednesday night, and

will soon be wanted, as the dry snow is
full of water.

That old-gold tinted paper on which
half of last weeks Press was printed
Awas the best we had in the shop. We
laid in a winters supply last fall, but
the steadily increasing circulation OF
the paper consumed it ahead OF time.
The rains and melting snow started
the creeks to running bank full Sunday
and Monday and washed away all the
bridges and culverts on the prairie.
There is consequently but little travel,
and the week in town is the tamest in
our experience.
Now that the annexation battle has
been fought and won we lift our hat to
our victorious opponents and beg to
assure them that we accept the situation
in that spirit of altruistic resignation
with which Christians accept the sor-
rows of their neighRors.
The superintendent of the Northern
Pacific express line will arrive here

This will make the debt of Idaho
county about S36, 600, and with the loss
of one-sixth of our county revenue will
embarass US to such an es.ent that we
must either abandon our county organ
sation and have ourselves annexed to
Nez Perce, or we must ourselves annex
the southern portion of Shoshone to our
own county. Our opposition to annex
alton had its origin in the consequences
just stated, and as the dear people were
so carried away with enthusiasm one
year ago that they would not listen to
us, SO we leave them now to digest the
frozen facts at their leisure. We now
throw up the sponge, acknowledge our
defeat. and stand prepared to cooperate
with time and work and money on
behalf of any enterprise, scheme or
measure that promises to advance the
interests of Idaho county.

passed MI. Lightner, attorney for the
Burlington, delivered an address on the
subject of milling in transit. He said
it was matter of gigantic importance
and if the commission intended to take
cognizance of it, in respect to- its legality
or reaSonablenesS, the Burlington
wanted to be heard. 1t had no feeder
west of the Twin Cities and did not be-
lieve III the transit system, and if any
decision were to be made or considera-
ton given the Burlington wanted an OPP
p0rtunity to be heard. He said the
transit system did not adhere to the
same wheat, after milling, which was
not right.
Boyden-what is the difference. It is only
n matter of tonnage.
Lightner-A big difference, You might get
all the wheat of Dakota.
Hanson-lf we have u line there an d you
haven't, shouldn't we get it?
Lightner-No.
Boyden-Well, you just try to take it from
us.
Commissioner Schoonmaker-The question
is not before us, because everybody seems
agreed on transit. The railroads want it, the
millers want it and the farmers want it.
Mr.. Lightner intimated the Burling-
ton did not want it, but he was assured
he would be given hearing if the mat
ter came up.
a PASSENGER CASE.
The commission took up the case of
w. n. Smith VS.. The Northern Pacific
Railway Company, in which it is charged
the company diScriminates against regu-
lar passengers in issuing tickets to emil
grant and land surveyors at largely re-
duced rates. Il. b. Grant, emigrant
agent. submitted testimony to the effect
that active settlers and land buyers re-
ceived an average reduction of so per
cent. When the interstate law went
into effect this practice was dicOntinued
for Il time, but was resumed on finding
the change had seriously affected the
sale of railroad lands. These tickets are
sold only west from st. Paul, and then
only on Mr.. Grants order. Mai.
Postlethwait, general land agent of the
company, explained the system
of land sales. The land was
all appraised and brought s. to
st per acre, depending oneits character
and location. On all lines east of the
Missouri the company accepted pre-
ferred stock in the road at its face value
and as the market value was 50 cents,
the land cost the purchaser only one
half. The company also related 81 per
acre on all lands broken within the first
two years. These rates Maj. PoStle-
thwaite explained, were only made to
those who went out to view the lands.
If the prospective settler took his fam
lily out, another special rate was made.
1t was claimed no discrimination was
made, as this rate was made to all actual
settlers.
No appearance was made from the
complainant and the commission took a
recess until 3 O'Clock.

A Stage Coach Rohhcd.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE Times Kyle,
Tex, special says: News reached here
last night that the Lockhart and Luling
stage, carrying the mails. has been
robbed by three masked high
waymen. There were only three pas
sengers in the stage, all of whom were
made to surrender their valuables at the
poin is of revolvers. Even the driver
was robbed of his watch. The mail
pouches were left untouched 1t is gen
orally believed that the robbers belong
to the gangs of train robbers who were
run to cover last Saturday near the lit
tie town of Manchaca, below Austin.
1t is known that at least three of that
band broke through the Gordon of
officers and escaped unframed, as they
stole fresh horses about fifteen miles
from Mancbaca. A posse of citizens left
here this evening to guard all roads lead
ing to Mexico, in the hope OF capturing
the daring highwaymen.

Norman Medium sold strong favorite
for this race, and he justified the con-
fidence reposed in him by his admirers,
for in the three heats that fell to his
share he simply made a procession of
his competitors, and the contest re-
solved itself into one for second hOnOrs,
in which Roy came out ahead. The
grey trotted without skip or break
from the time that ''gO' was announced
from the stand, and his driver merely
logged him at the finish.
A summary of this race is as follows:

The best contested race of the day
was that in the 2:22 class for $500
trOtters to the starting point. In the
pools Loretta was the favorite, but in
every heat she was last home and the
race went to Lowland Girl, who was
admirably driven. The first heat the
horses went in bunch to the three
quarter pole, when the Girl drew away
and trOtting steadily won by two lengths
over FlOssie e, and this heat was re-
peated in the succeeding trials. After
the second heat Astral, who delayed the
start by several breaks, was found to
be lame and he was sent to the stable,
leaving but three competitors for the
purse. 1t was clearly manifest, how
ever, that Lowland Girl was too fast for
her companions, and after the stretch
was reached her driver had time to turn
in his sulky and call to the others to
''cOme on"
